[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65416, member: 1"] Listen closely: do you hear that sound? It's the cry of hundreds of beleaguered Dino Crisis fans, mourning the revival that could've been. Adi Shankar, the creator of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/devil-may-cry-anime-from-castlevania-showrunner-is-coming-to-netflix']Netflix's upcoming Devil May Cry show[/URL] and a filmmaker with a strong reputation for video game anime adaptations (Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk), revealed some interesting information in [URL='https://x.com/adishankarbrand/status/1854227947944890505']a recent X/Twitter post[/URL]. Specifically, when he first started talking to Capcom years ago, his sights weren't actually set on Devil May Cry. He began by sharing some quick thoughts on each of the three Dino Crisis games, praising the first two while conceding that the third "lost that magic" as it headed off Earth. "Why am I telling you this?" he continued. "Because when I first went to Capcom in 2017, my mission was clear: I wanted to bring Dino Crisis back. But in an awesome twist of fate, they sold me Devil May Cry instead! I didn’t think DMC would even be on the table." It's an almost comically tragic twist of fate for Dino Crisis enthusiasts, who have long awaited another installment in the survival series created by Resident Evil's Shinji Mikami. "Like it’s cool Devil May Cry fans can eat but god damn. Dino Crisis fans stay in sad I guess," [URL='https://x.com/Jawmuncher/status/1854593201266737643']bemoaned one X/Twitter user[/URL].
